Mount samba shares with utf8 encoding using cifs

[dmizer]

fantastic! glad to hear you got it working.

as far as security goes. obviously the problem here is that anyone who can connect to your network (wireless?) could potentially connect to your nfs shares. however, keep in mind of course that windows computers won't be able to connect to nfs shares.

and frankly ... i use the same nfs configuration for my network shares.

Good to hear! And once again, thanks a lot!

I'm using Kubuntu 7.04 connected to a WesternDigital MyBook World Edition NAS.

It mounts, but I get problems with writing to the NAS.
If I do a smbfs mount, I get full access, but it is too slow to use.

fstab line:
\\192.168.0.99\public /media/pub cifs credentials=/etc/fstab_smb_credentials_1,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0 777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

I get rw-access to files and directories in the root (not user root) /media/pub, but not to the subobjects.

For /media/pub:
drwxrwxr-x 8 root www-data 0 2007-05-12 11:29 pub
And for ALL subobjects to /media/pub
drwxr-xr-x 7 www-data www-data 0 2007-05-05 11:29 music

I have added myself to the group www-data, but that only gave me rw to the first level of /media/pub.

I've tried some chmod and chowns, as sudo, but the result is things like this:
chown: changing ownership of `music': Permission denied

Anyone?

thank you all, great guide.
Works for me except for the following error messae:

[18.312000] CIFS VFS: Server not responding
[18.312000] No response for cmd 5 mid 8

displayed at the end of shutdown process. Hangs around on screen for several seconds befor switch off.
Any ideas what is causing it and how to get rid of it?

i'm afraid i found zero information on your nas device. i did find lots of information with people having folder permission problems in windows. also, your device doesn't work with mac, and it doesn't work in vista yet.

was the www-data folder created with mionet? if so, you may not be able to get access to it under cifs.

thank you all, great guide.

i'm still working on this one. i'll post again if i come up with an answer for you.

www-data is not a folder on my nas, it is a auto created group and a user on my kubuntu system.
I do not use mionet.

Me too, but hangs around for more than a few seconds for me. Would love to know what's causing it.

[dmizer]

are either of you using vmware?

[phazon.]

I did have it installed, but not anymore. I reinstalled 7.04 over my '/' partition, leaving my '/home' untouched - could be there's some remnants of vmware hanging around?

i'm really sorry to say ... but nas devices have been particularly troublesome. from experience in this thread, i'd say that probably about 50% work with no trouble. probably 15-20% will work with a firmware upgrade, and the rest are hopeless. from what i've been reading about your device, i'd place it squarely in the latter category.

you should probably keep your eye open for a firmware update which will likely be released soon so the device can work with vista. beyond that i'm sincerely sorry to report that i have nothing else to offer you.
